Highlight

  • “Circle to Search” from Google lets Android users look by circling things on their screen.
  • Google improved “Multisearch” so that when users take a picture and ask a question, it gives them an outline made by AI.
  • The new updated search features offer a more easy experience for our users.

Circle to Search and Multisearch experience are two big enhancements that Google has unveiled for its Search. Very soon, Android Users will get an ultimate brand new Search tool that will allow them to search for anything without closing the app. The function called “Circle to Search” is said to have been created because people were curious.

Circle, Highlight, or Scribble to Search

A new feature called Circle to Search has been introduced to Google Search to facilitate contextual Search. Generally, we lose our focus on our aim while searching for something. To fix this, Google’s new feature will allow users to access search results without leaving the app they were using previously.

The newly introduced Google feature allows users to obtain contextual information relating to any showed image or item through the use of an easy gesture, using the search capabilities of the Cupertino behemoth. One of the best things about Circle to Search is that once it’s loaded, you can use gestures like tapping, circling, highlighting, or scribbling to get the information you want and then avoid moving apps. You can quickly get more information about the problem with this feature.

The new Search feature by Google will give the users all the information that they need. In a statement by Google, the Search feature doesn’t create hindrances in the way of what you’re doing. Google showed off different use cases in a short talk. Some of them were relevant to our everyday lives. Like watching a tech video, circling the mobile will show you similar items that you can buy from stores all over the internet.

Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and the upcoming Galaxy S24 series are among the top Android smartphones that will have the Circle to Search the features available beginning January 31, 2024. It will be possible to use the tool in all languages and places that support them.

The new Search feature will also work on videos, which is a big deal. Among other things, this means you can pause a YouTube Short to find the cap that your favorite actor was wearing. Now that you have all the information you need, you may go back to watching the video or doing anything else you choose.

How To Use Circle To Search

Step 1: Long -press the home button to start.

Step 2: If you turn it on, you can circle any item to learn more about it or find similar items from other shops without leaving the app or screen.

Step 3: To get back to the first screen or app, just swipe away when you’re done.

Google’s Multisearch With Generative Ai

Google Lens added multisearch in 2022, so people could search for both text and pictures at the same time. As AI has gotten better recently, however, multisearch has become much more useful. The thing you can now ask a question of with your camera will get replies from AI that go beyond what you can see.

Imagine coming across a teddy bear at a yard sale. What’s it’s price and how to keep it new might interest you. You may use your camera to take an image, ask an artificial intelligence-generated inquiry, and receive results from many websites.

Conclusion

Google has updated its multisearch feature at the same time as Circle to Search is launched. With this update to the Lens feature, users may ask more complex visual searches. Starting today, the updated multisearch feature in the Google app lets users dig deeper into things to figure out why things happen, not just name them. But for now, this function is only available on Android and iOS devices in the US.
